Search FTSE 100 news

Every story and headline we have analysed, 30 September 2026 to 26 October 2026. Nothing is removed: older coverage stays searchable.

How to read a score. Each score rates how good or bad the news was for the company, from −10 (clearly bad) to +10 (clearly good). 0 is neutral, and anything beyond ±6 is strong and rare. It rates the coverage, not the share price.

A short, free morning email on how the news treated the FTSE 100: the tone, the stories behind it, and when coverage starts to turn. Launching soon; one click to unsubscribe.

How it works. Every morning an AI model reads the UK business news about each FTSE 100 company and scores how good or bad it is for the company, from −10 to +10. Pages update by about 07:45 UK time.

Not investment advice. MarketFrame rates the tone of news coverage. It is general information, not a recommendation to buy or sell anything. The scores are not share-price data or forecasts: a good score doesn't mean a share will rise, and a bad one doesn't mean it will fall.
